\u00a0 -in May we need to prepare for next hay order and weed mowing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3.Membership issues:<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 -status of open spaces; Gary Fitts and Trish Pillsbury had given notice they could not get a suitable horse to bring in and so were withdrawing their membership – they were given\u00a0 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 month extension to get a\u00a0 suitable horse if they want to continue.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 -welcome to new probationary members JoAnn Gillespie and Katherine Houghten !\u00a0 Thanks<\/div>\n
\u00a0 to the membership committee for interviews and work.<\/div>\n
\u00a0– no more open spaces as of now.<\/div>\n
\u00a0-review of Larry Hunt’s\u00a0 probationary status; concern about missed feeding(s)\u00a0 and participation\u00a0 at pasture, work hours. Motion to extend\u00a0 probation 6 months\u00a0 providing he<\/div>\n
\u00a0meets with Board next month- passed 4-1 -Linda will contact Larry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. EBMUD report:<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 -the AGP (annual grazing plan) has been signed off by EBMUD for 2017-18. It will be posted on OHA web site.We added\u00a0 fencing work on the ring pasture to make it a safe<\/div>\n
area in case of fire, which was approved along with our other approved projects (leasehold<\/div>\n
improvements) which give us $ credits against our lease payment.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 -EBMUD Wakean\u00a0 has contacted city of Orinda\u00a0 by phone (again) and email about the condition of\u00a0 the bridge on El Toyonal over Barn creek- no response yet.Concern is about top<\/div>\n
layer of boards getting worn, and weight limit of bridge -EB Regional ParksFire Dept\u00a0 did not want to cross the bridge in their truck without knowing the weight limit when they responded to the<\/div>\n
death of Jazz in the Beercan corral.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5.Treasurer’s report: (Diane will be assisting Page with treas. duties)<\/div>\n
\u00a0 – 23 members are paid up on dues- if you have not paid there is a $10 late fee!<\/div>\n
\u00a0– we will make a $100 donation to the Barns & Trails Foundaton at their request-(they<\/div>\n
granted us $2500 last year for our work on old stalls -red barn repairs).<\/div>\n
\u00a0-the budget was revised , approved, and will be sent out and put on the web site.<\/div>\n
\u00a0OHA paid $5563\u00a0 rent to EBMUD and has budgeted $11500 for hay, and $2500 for insurance, among other items. We seem to be ok finacially but people have not all<\/div>\n
paid dues and money owed for hay use.( hay in red barn should be marked on the sign-out sheet there and paid to OHA $22 per bale-horses in stalls during feeding season are alloted 1 feeding per day, not 2.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6. Grazing rotation:<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 – corrals where horses can be put in for dieting that are exhibiting signs of laminitis danger-(excess weight,crested necks,hoof heat &\u00a0 pulses, lameness) are the pavilion, the old stalls, the corral behind the red barn, and the ring pasture. (not in the north corral until growing season is done, as it is a riparian area). The ring pasture was ok’d by EBMUD when the Beercan corral was not usable after\u00a0 fencing removed. This and the<\/div>\n
red barn corral still have grass\u00a0 so not suitable for horses with severe symptoms…<\/div>\n
\u00a0 – Erica will\u00a0 move herd\u00a0 to Beercan from Lower Sullivan\u00a0 Wed 4\/11, gate to be closed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
7. facilities<\/div>\n
\u00a0– Beercan corral should have an electric rope on top of no-climb wire fencing, if approved<\/div>\n
by EBMUD (they will have their biologist check the area on 4-16 to say what fencing may be<\/div>\n
ok). OHA work party removed the hi-tensile wire fence from the upper part of the corral on 3\/31 and plans for re-fencing the corral were discussed.<\/div>\n
– the question of re-surfacing the ring\u00a0 to make it more all-weather\u00a0 usable was discussed- generally agreed it would be too expensive- tabled.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
8.projects<\/div>\n
\u00a0-‘back 40’ plan for putting up a shelter\/roof\u00a0 was discussed–Sally will re-check previous estimate done by Mig or Larry. OHA would have to pay for it -it is not a capital improvement per EBMUD.<\/div>\n
-‘Hay Tent’ question-whether\u00a0 the Lower pasture tent was working and whether to buy any more -this was tabled\u00a0 to await more\/future information.<\/div>\n
-Diane said\u00a0 a person who does re-hab work with military veterans and horses, 3 persons per session, would like to use our facilities & horses- she will need to get approval form EBMUD<\/div>\n
but was supported in this idea.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
9. Next Meeting\u00a0 May 7th Monday at Wakean’s house -6531 Tremont St Oakland<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank Yous!\u00a0 to Sally and the work-party participants in the beercan corral –<\/div>\n
(Tanya, SAally, Pat, Sonny, Linda, Lisa, Wakean, Heather, Matt,Elise, Suzzette) and Kim, Tal, Doug for doing extra work there -also all who helped Morris with Granite!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
